Two stupid arguments right at the top. People using google instead of passing urls doesn't make google the internet. Facebook Pages are more the internet than that. Most sites are shared via links online, not vague spoken search terms offline. Even if this were true, it would make google the dns system, not the network. Google is not responsible for gmail's wild success. The crappiness of its competitors is. Mainly Microsoft's refusal to abandon the rich client model and make hotmail competitive. And Yahoo's general uselessness of course. Don't look at a road in Britain and say "why does everyone have a BMW?!" as if it might be BMW's fault. It's not - it's Audi's fault for being boring or Mercedes for charging too much. A company can control a big market share because people LET THEM.
